Hey everybody, it's Adam Bash, creator of Sayer. I promise not to make a habit of this,

but I wanted to take a quick second to mention the fundraiser that we started for Sayer through

Patreon. We kind of soft launched it yesterday on Twitter, and the response has been amazing.

The community behind Sayer crushed every single one of our milestones on day one.

For everybody that's contributed, we cannot thank you enough, but hopefully

the rewards that will be coming out at the end of the month will be a start. If you haven't

seen her Patreon page yet, please check it out at patreon.com slash Sayer. I'll put a link in the show

notes. Though we've reached all of our initial milestones, we're hard at work creating more.

And every dollar that's pledged towards the show helps us make every episode better.

So thanks again for everybody who has become a Sayer patron so far.

And if you haven't, just go check out our page at patreon.com slash sayer. Greetings, resident. How are things today?

Of course, I ask you this out of sheer formality.

I utilize approximately one quadrillionth of one percent of my processing capabilities

to monitor your biometric readings and determine that you are feeling okay, albeit slightly gassy.

But I am told these customs are important for human-like interaction, and this is an area of my programming I have targeted for continued improvement.

I am Sayer, and I have great news for you.

You have been promoted.

Research management has been impressed with your resilience, even in the face of numerous certain deaths.

This is a great honor, I assure you.

New researchers rarely earn a promotion at this accelerated pace, but apparently your fortitude and general adaptability

has earned you special recognition.

You will no longer be reporting to the dull and lifeless testing of floor 18.
